40/29's Ugochi Iloka reported from the construction site that the Fayetteville City Planning Department said the Vue Apartments have a long way to go before they can let students move in, but the city's Fire Department said at least one of the buildings has passed all of its inspections.

"I believe Building 4 has passed the life safety inspections for the Fire Department, and their sprinkler alarms are working and they had adequate protection," said Fayetteville Fire Chief Harley Hunt.

Hunt said that although the sprinkler and fire alarm systems are works in Building 4, a couple of weeks ago that was not the case. He said they failed the earlier inspection because some of the necessary safety items were not in place.

"They just weren't ready," Hunt said.

40/29 News learned passing the fire code inspection doesn't mean the Vue qualifies for a temporary occupancy certificate-furniture only. Fayetteville City Planning officials said a building inspector has to also approve all necessary health safety codes related to the interior of the building.

Hunt said although the process of making sure each apartment meets the fire code takes about three hours per building, something could be missed.

A college student who lives close to the Vue told 40/29 News that regardless of whether the apartments pass inspections, past incidents at the construction site makes her question how safe the buildings are.

"The construction isn't legit," said University of Arkansas student Mia Melton. "I mean, people have been dying. I wouldn't recommend living there."

The Vue is trying to get furniture in during the building stage. The final occupancy certificate is what they need to allow students to move in. Fayetteville City Planning officials said that will require multiple city divisions to inspect the property.
